USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin was contacted this weekend by new Tennessee coach Butch Jones about joining the Volunteers' coaching staff, according to sources.

Martin, a former quarterback who led Tennessee to a national title in 1998, is interested in the job, according to sources. If Martin left, USC would have four different wide receiver coaches in four years.

Martin could not be reached for comment Sunday..

During his introductory news conference Friday, Jones said he was interested in Martin.

"Obviously he's a great coach," Jones said. "We all understand what he's meant to this football program."

Coach Lane Kiffin must also hire a defensive coordinator. Among the candidates mentioned are San Diego Chargers assistant Joe Barry, Oregon State defensive coordinator Mark Banker and New Mexico State coach DeWayne Walker.

Also, two of the nine recruits USC hosted over the weekend - quarterback Max Browne and safety Su'a Cravens - are expected to enroll in January. Browne and Cravens flew to New York on Sunday to attend a ceremony for the Gatorade national player of the year awards.
